the bicycle and pedestrian projects to accommodate the scheduling of large grant projects in future <br />years. <br />• Collaborating with Partners and Leveraging Bond Funds - Eugene's Pavement Preservation Program <br />(PPP) requires strong coordination with internal and external utility stakeholders to schedule and <br />coordinate the street work with any needed upgrades and repairs to the nearby streets and utility <br />facilities to avoid emergency repairs. The 2016 projects created opportunities to repair underground <br />utilities including the wastewater and stormwater systems. We also appreciate the ability to leverage <br />bond funds with other sources of revenue. We commend City staff for getting good value for the bond <br />dollars. <br />• Continuing to Communicate with Citizens and Businesses - Construction, by nature, is disruptive. <br />City staff continued to work with residents and stakeholders to minimize inconveniences. We continue <br />to encourage the department to coordinate projects and look for new and better ways to proactively <br />coordinate communications and minimize impact to the public, impacted businesses and residents. <br />• Achieving Sustainability Goals -The PPP is designed to extend the life of city streets before they fall <br />into the reconstruct category. This helps to not only extend the life of the streets, but when combined <br />with recent paving techniques, greatly reduces the City's environmental footprint Eugene is a leader in <br />using reclaimed asphalt materials, reducing the mining and production of virgin rock and asphalt <br />materials. The continued use of warm mix asphalt saves energy, reduces emissions, and is an excellent <br />example of the department's commitment to sustainability efforts, consistent with the City's Climate <br />Recovery Ordinance. <br />• Building Safe and Complete Streets - The bond projects are designed to improve safety for people of <br />all ages and abilities, balance the needs of different modes, and support local land uses, economies, <br />cultures, and natural environments. This ties into the Council's strategy of "Vision Zero," a resolution <br />that calls for eliminating traffic -related deaths or serious injuries on city streets. The improvements <br />funded through the bond enhance safety for all road users, whether driving, walking or bicycling. <br />• Understanding the Process for Selecting Projects - SRRP members often are asked what process is <br />used to select streets for repairs. The streets chosen for bond funding were selected using the criteria <br />listed on page 3 of the attached report. The selection of bicycle and pedestrian projects is guided by the <br />Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, City staff and the Active Transportation Advisory Committee. The <br />memo by Associate Transportation Planner Reed Dunbar (in Appendix C) explains in more detail how <br />these safety improvement projects are selected. <br />• Recognizing the Continued Economic Value of Street Bond Projects - A functioning transportation <br />system is important for the community and economy. The bond is essential to maintaining the City's <br />infrastructure. Based on the Oregon Department of Transportation Highway Division jobs multiplier <br />model, the bond measure projects completed in 2016 conservatively sustained approximately 69 full- <br />time equivalent jobs during the period of construction. <br />• Bottom Line - We believe the community is getting a good return for its investment in street repairs, <br />and the bond funds are being used wisely to meet the objectives of Ballot Measure 20-197. An upfront <br />investment in repairing and maintaining Eugene's streets saves the community significant money. <br />We feel Public Works Director Kurt Corey and his staff are doing an excellent job designing and constructing <br />bond measure projects. We appreciate the support they have given us in the course of our review. The <br />committee also continues to express its appreciation to the voters and taxpayers of Eugene for their ongoing <br />support of the bond measures that have made our community a better place to live and do business. <br />Additional information about the Street Repair Review Panel can be found at www.euLyene-or.gov/gobonds. <br />Please feel free to contact any of us for additional information. <br />SRRP Members <br />John Barofsky <br />John Quilter <br />Janet Calvert <br />Matt Roberts <br />Allison Camp <br />Dan Rodriguez <br />Mel Damewood <br />011ie Snowden <br />Paul Holbo <br />Gary Wildish <br />Jim Mender <br />Sue Wolling <br />Dave Perez <br />Citv of Eugene Staff <br />Kurt Corey <br />Katie Marwitz <br />Michelle Cahill <br />Brian Richardson <br />Cinimint Harper <br />Mark Schoening <br />Eric Johnson <br />Tammy Smith <br />Paul Klope <br />Jenifer Willer <br />
